Nobody Cares:

President Trump made a good speech on tax cuts today. It made sense. Cut taxes, get rid of loopholes, and make it simple again.

How LONG have we waited for that? Yes, waiting for it, and wondering if Congress is going to get THIS done.

After all, Obamacare was a HUGE tax on the American people, and we got nothingfor it but misery.

Health care is destroyed. But no matter, the money keeps rolling in to them, doesn’t it?

After Trump’s speech I listened to Ken Langone, Co-Founder of Home Depot today on Neil Cavuto.

(Go to 19.00 in the video)

HE comes out with that great feel good mantra: “Forget the tax cuts.” America needs to take care of the people in Texas.

WTF? Since when?

Right. He would say that. Of course, looking at it from HIS point of view, the government handing out huge payments to people in Texas is like manna from heaven to him. Home Depot will make billions off the building that would happen. It’s government subsidies, and endless flood of profits, not to mention tax reform would probably hit him personally. HE would have to pay more.

Basically, even though he was pulling on patriotic heart-strings, he was saying that the rest of the United States needs to take it up the wazoo for Texas.

But why just Texas?

But what about all the other disasters we have? What about all the wildfires out West? The tornadoes that destroy sometimes whole cities? And floods? Just last March we had a big flood here in Missouri, and our basement flooded, and WE are on a hill. Insurance doesn’t usually cover floods on hills.

Like Texas, last March in Missouri, it rained here for a week, and like the people in Texas, it will take us more than a year to replace everything we lost. It was finished off: bedroom, bath, living room, office.

The point I’m making is disasters happen every year in the United States. It’s horrible for the people who get hit with it, but if the rest of the country doesn’t get tax reform, there won’t be much of a country left standing.

Texas will just look pretty until the next hurricane hits.

Now, I must admit: Ken has a point. If we didn’t send so much money to other countries we’d have the money for fixing such disasters. But heck, Congress can’t even fix our streets, they are too busy forking money out to build infrastructures in OTHER countries so that THEY can get Home Depots and Wal-Marts and MacDonald’s…

They just don’t tell you about it.

So, my suggestion is…fund money for the infrastructure of Texas. Fix the damns that broke, and flood proof it all. Start there. But giving money to replace the businesses and homes? Do you really think that’s fair to you and I?

It’s just another welfare program piled on top of all the others.

Sure, our hearts go out to anybody who loses their homes and businesses. But, there WILL be millions of dollars sent to help these people.

And that would be enough, IF it got to the people.

The trouble is: It never does, does it? Just ask Haiti. Bill Clinton gave Haiti about 10 percent of the money he collected to help the people of Haiti, the rest of the millions gathered help pay for Chelsea’s wedding and her $10 million dollar apartment in New York.

Watch and see if Congress doesn’t USE Harvey to ‘postpone’ tax reform.

WE must, tell them, once again:

Lower our taxes, and watch just how GREAT we can make Texas again…or else,..

You might want to think about the REAL flood that will be coming down on you.

Seventy-eight percent of full-time workers said they live paycheck to paycheck, up from 75 percent last year, according to a recent report from CareerBuilder.

Overall, 71 percent of all U.S. workers said they’re now in debt, up from 68 percent a year ago, CareerBuilder said.

He called to tell me one of his employees, a woman, couldn’t stop crying, because she found out that even with insurance, because of the high deductible, she owed over $5,550.00 cash towards her medical bills. Even though this woman is a full-time employee, she is still not making much…maybe around $33,000 a year. These days, that’s not a lot.

My husband tried to tell her that she wasn’t the only one whose medical bills were not covered by insurance, and she wasn’t the only one who struggled to pay their medical bills, in fact, everyone at the store had the same problem.

The new norm is: Just don’t get sick. You can’t afford it.

She has no children, just herself. But clearly, with everything that cost so much due to high inflation, and (Notice that is not talked about by ANY politician) life gets overwhelming.

But Joyanna, you say, the stock market is soaring higher than ever before.

Right, but who benefits from that? Most people don’t have a lot of money in the stock market. You have to put money IN to play.

And if they have 401K’s, very few people are going to pay the fees to take out loans, or take out money early to pay medical bills.

My heart goes out for this gal. She’s white. Single, and clearly hasn’t much of a support system.

On the other hand, I was in a Dollar Tree Store this morning, and there were two black women talking at the register.

When I finally came up to check out, the woman behind the counter said she was so excited…she was going to get a THIRD job!

“I have four kids!” she said, smiling big. Insinuating she was going to get a third job to help support those kids.

Now, first off…. I asked her, “Will you have time to even sleep?”

She grinned as if it was no problem whatsoever.

I walked out admiring her…hell, I only had one child and if not for my mother and father watching him at night when I was single, I don’t know how I could have done it. I got home at sometimes 3am, and got up at 6am to get him off to school, met him when he got home, made supper and off to work I’d go. This was six days a week, and I could barely have managed that, let alone four. How did she do it?

She was some kid of superwoman.

Clearly, she was getting a lot of help. She told me that one baby was six months old, the other was 18 months old. She bragged about it. All I could think of, is…”Don’t you MISS your babies?”

Yes, she had babies. So, who was changing those diapers, and managing all four kids while she was at work…grandma?

Did she get state help? Welfare? And why was she so happy about getting a third job?

I looked around. The store was a total wreck. Items were all over the floor. Shelves were in such horrible disarray, nothing was in the right place. The floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a year.

CLEARLY, she didn’t have to work too hard at that store, so it’s no wonder she was so happy.

The black woman didn’t have a care in the world, and with four kids, and no father, she was very happy.

The white woman, with no kids, was wondering how she was going to pay her medical bills.

Nobody Wins, when you keep hearing that the color of your skin gives you disadvantages.
And then you find out…. maybe everybody has the story of the discrimination against blacks all wrong.

They’ve been getting ‘free’ everything for many years now, due just to the color of their skin.

My heart goes out to my husband’s co-worker.

But, the black lady working at the Dollar Tree, obviously, doesn’t have a care in the world. Soon she will have three jobs, and she can have another kid!

And Nobody Knows how she does it, unless of course, you’re the young white woman who couldn’t even afford a child.

Why ANYONE in their right mind would go shopping on Black Friday at Wal-Mart?

And yet, millions put down their forks and scarf down mom’s pumpkin pie early in the morning just so that they can be first in line when the Black Friday Sales start.

My husband and I went into Wal-Mart around 11p.m today. It was pretty empty. But somebody had been working hard overnight to stock all the sale items onto the aisles. Sales that…were certainly not worth standing in line for an hour to buy. But, AMAZINLY people will stand in line for TVs, or a toy that they know their kid want for Christmas.

If they save $50 dollars they feel like they’ve REALLY done something great. Really, just pay the $50 and go at a less crowded time.

I don’t understand it.

For instance: There was Tupperware set, boxes and boxes of them on sale. It usually sold for $19.00 and was on sale for $7.99. REALLY? Who doesn’t have Tupperware already? And then I think: more than I might know.

I often ask myself, if Wal-Mart was selling one of those $300 dollar mixers for $100.00 would I too stand in line for it?

Would I risk getting a disease from South America, or bruises from a kicked shin? Would I stand in line for hours just to get to the kitchen aisle and see they were all sold out?

My mixer bit the dust years ago. I’ve been using a hand mixer, which works just fine. The other day, I saw a mixer with a bowl for $24.00. Sure, you have to turn the bowl yourself, it’s certainly not for someone who spends hours every day cooking, but that’s not me. I bought it and couldn’t be happier.

Think about it: You rarely have to mix anything more than 5 minutes. How hard it that?

When my hand breaks and I can’t turn the bowl any longer, there’s always TV dinners.

And you know what? Even if I DID cook every day, I really think those mixers are way overpriced. China truly is ripping us off.

Another pet peeve of mine is the new America sales scam:

Like—SALE! 50% off! Was $250.00, now only $150.00!

Which is the price it normally is, if you shop at the store and know. And they do this with clothes, appliances, well, just about everything.

I call it the, “You think you are saving money, but you’re NOT!” scam.

Are any of the companies reprimanded for false advertising? No.

Or how about the “Buy one get one half off!” (Or free as the Clintons used to say.)

(In Clinton’s case, we will be paying for them, the rest of our lives.)

Trust me, you are paying for both.

But people fall for these scams. Woman especially LOVE to brag how they got something, ANYTHING, on sale. As if, that makes them special. As IF, that makes them smart.

As if.

Still, the economy is SO bad, inflation and the price of food SO high, that the luxuries that you can’t afford go on sale just one day a year…you’d better be there.

For some people, that truly is the norm. And to have these sales one day a week, is…close to cruel. People go wild. They get all excited, like they are drunk with anticipation. It’s social engineering at it’s finest. They make you WANT it. DESIRE IT.

And while I’m ranting about people standing in line to get bargains, I actually am guilty of that:

Today my family stood in line for over an hour to eat Thanksgiving Dinner at Cracker Barrel. It was great, reasonably priced, and best yet: no dishes. What’s great about Cracker Barrel, they have a store that you can amuse yourself with while you’re waiting.

There’s nothing like a home-cooked Thanksgiving turkey dinner, don’t get me wrong. But, what’s most important is to spend time with those you love.

Do you ever feel like you’re in the Twilight Zone? My husband and I went to a Vitamin Store today to get some protein stuff that my husband likes to make sometimes. We went to the nearest Vitamin Store, about five minutes from the house.

Okay…you might ask? So you went to a mall? At LEAST you didn’t get shot at, look at the good side. Tonight in a Mall in Washington near Seattle, four people were shot by an “Hispanic”, but I wasn’t too concerned about getting shot, because this Mall is a ghost town. When it opened, 13 years ago, it was full of shops and people. NOW…there are only two stores left (and an IMAX): The Vitamin Store, and Cabela’s. And Cabela’s doesn’t have to pay taxes because it claims it’s a museum, due to the clever idea that they put stuffed deer and wolves and bears everywhere.

Anyway, That’s it. I’m seriously thinking about bidding for those stuffed mountain lions and buffalos so that I can turn MY house into a museum. And pay no more taxes. What do you think? I have quite a collection of sea shells in the basement. I could start getting my dead parakeets stuffed, like Mrs. Edison did…anyway, I’m off the subject. I could even have myself stuffed when I die. That should draw a crowd.

The middle-age guy working the store all by himself, you could tell, was so bored that he started talking real fast, in hopes that we would stick around. Out of the blue, he starting talking about his new 16-month-old son, (Whom he named Thaddeus after Thor, go figure that out.) and WHY he thought all the malls in the United States were closing down, because we wanted to know just how much longer the store was going to stay open.

“You don’t think the economy or the fact that this is about ten minutes away from Ferguson has anything to do with it?” I asked.

“No. Here’s the truth. All the remaining Malls in St. Louis are by major highways.”

The fact that TWO major highways passed right by the mall, and it was rush hour, and we were the only three people in the mall didn’t seem to register. I was hearing Rod Sterling say.

Doo, do, do do…do do do do…

“Thaddeus’s father, deep in thought, doesn’t know it yet, but he will soon learn the lesson…that he’s NOT on another planet, and sometimes, things are not what they seem. No, Thaddeus’s father will soon learn, that home is not always were the heart is, but…online.”

As he was talking, I was remembering the conversation I had with my friend Mona today. We talked about how the blacks for the last eight Obama years, would just walk into a store, take whatever they wanted, and walk out. They were never prosecuted, and sometimes, on a Saturday night, looting at the Mall was the most exciting thing happening. She and I both agreed, that with daily looting, and the simple fact that people didn’t have much money to spend anymore, the stores just couldn’t keep in business. Especially in depressed places where there are more minorities.

But, I kept my mouth shut.

“With online shopping, you don’t have a sales tax.” said the guy.

“No” I said. “But the shipping prices are pretty much the same expense” And having been a ‘girl’ all my life, shopping online for clothes is nothing to compare with trying something on. Not only do you have the WAIT for the package to get there, if you don’t like it, you have to send it back and pay for the shipping. It’s like a DOUBLE tax.

Yes, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. This man, could not fathom the reality of the destruction of the American economy. Even though, he probably had to bring his lunch to work because the food court was dark, and the Merry-Go-Round in the middle was begging to be moved to a Stephen King movie.

As we walked out the door, I yelled back. “Be sure and take lot of movies of Thaddeus!”

Nobody’s Opinion

It’s apparent: The rich watch too much TV. I was thinking about that today. How do they get the idea that America is doing really well? They come on our TV’s and assure us everything is fine…don’t worry, our economy is just fine. They all must hang out at the same places, the best restaurants, and you have to wonder…do they even look out their limo windows? They only see the ghettos when Blacks decide to riot? What? Do they think Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis…really are just a small part of the American universe?

After all, they see mostly beautiful houses all day long. It’s getting hard for me to imagine their disconnect.

Yesterday, I was cleaning the kitchen, and I was searching for something to listen to on my cheap little telly…and there was Ben Stein, on some FOX show. Ben Stein is the genius of conservatives. Most people knew him as the teacher in the movie Ferris Bueller’s DayOff…but he actually use to write speeches for Nixon and Ford. Most importantly, and not mentioned much, is he was a graduate of Yale Law School..in fact he was Valedictorian.

Ben Stein, has made some really astute observations, like this one about Richard Nixon:

Can anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POWs, ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel’s life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does anyone remember what he did that was bad?

Oh, now I remember. He lied. He was a politician who lied. How remarkable. He lied to protect his subordinates who were covering up a ridiculous burglary that no one to this date has any clue about its purpose. He lied so he could stay in office and keep his agenda of peace going. That was his crime. He was a peacemaker and he wanted to make a world where there was a generation of peace. And he succeeded.

That is his legacy. He was a peacemaker. He was a lying, conniving, covering up peacemaker. He was not a lying, conniving drug addict like JFK, a lying, conniving war starter like LBJ, a lying, conniving seducer like Clinton—a lying, conniving peacemaker.

Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.

He also called Obama a racist…

What’s not to like about Ben Stein? Ben Stein has written stuff that has put tears in my eyes, and that hasn’t happened since Bambi lost his mother.

So, when Ben Stein said yesterday that the dollar was strong, and the economy was strong, I almost threw the spoon down the garbage disposal, while my hand was still attached.

How can such a brilliant man say such a stupid thing? I thought to myself.

But, then, sadly, to me, the answer is obvious. Imagine…a day in the life of Ben Stein. He gets up, maybe reads the Wall Street Journal, The Times, and perhaps a few dozen other papers online, and maybe writes a column or two. He sees the same cable news that we all do, so, you have to wonder, how he came to this conclusion?

There is only one answer: To the rich, the Ben Stein’s of the world, the rich connected to D.C. elites, America IS Wall Street. They judge America on the stock market, on their portfolios’, on the strength of their money in their banks. Appearing on FOX news is just a lot of fun to the man like Ben Stein. A man, well connected enough to the global cabal in Washington D.C. that he honestly believes that it’s Wall Street that determines the health of our nation. Big business, big government, has worked well in Ben’s world. It’s the only history he knows. In his world, America will never change, as long as the right money men remain in power.

What else can it be?

And it’s not just Ben Stein. I don’t know how many times I watched Sheppard Smith whoopeeing his wins in his stock market portfolio…during his news reports.

After 9.11, the Fed just kept pumping money and the poor got poorer and the rich got richer, and somehow, Ben Stein thinks that now…That worked pretty well. The economy is good.

Nobody ask him…FOR WHO?

No…rich men like Ben Stein, are in a dream world where if THEY are doing well…that means America is doing well.

Maybe I didn’t hear him right. It was a stupid thing to say, for such a ‘knowledgeable’ man. After all, I guess he doesn’t care that America’s debt is over 20 trillion, and WHAT school taught him economics, can we ask with a straight face?

Nobody Wonders…..when was the last time Ben Stein got out of his house in Beverly Hills? Maybe if we all had just a little bit of Ben Stein’s money, we’d think the economy is doing great too.

In the meantime, I think I’ll skip the Ben Stein’s “America is doing great” class. Down here in real life, Ben’s money fell off the back of the cliff so long ago, nobody will ever find it.

I love it. The Stock market takes a big chunk out of the middle class 401K’s, but the billionaires are pretty happy, because now they can go in and buy up everything at bargain prices!

So, what news this day, from the man who OWNS the only conservative channel on cable? He hates Donald Trump so much, he wants his other rich buddy, the X-Mayor King of New York, to run for President: He tweeted:

“With Trump becoming very serious candidate, it’s time for next billionaire candidate, Mike Bloomberg to step into ring. Greatest mayor.”

Greatest mayor? Rupert must be hanging out among the boobs in Times Square. Can you imagine what ‘laws’ President Bloomberg would pass?

Bloomberg lives in London now. What? Does Rupert just want free rides on Air Force One? Is he missing his friend? Or is this just another attempt at getting Jeb and Hillary back in the saddle?

When the owner of FOX news and FOX sports, and the man who owns The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, wants the country ruled by liberals, that should tell you something.

The RICH, do not want Donald Trump in power. Jeb, Hillary, Bloomberg would be their puppets.

In the meantime, we are being told, “Don’t worry! You’ll get your money back! It always comes back!”

Right. You can wait…another decade right? Just like our lame political process…they expect us to WAIT..for things to get better, and it…never happens.

Here’s someone to explain the fact that what we are hearing about the Greeks are all wrong: Greece was set up by the bankers to “fail” so that the billionaires could come in and buy up the Greek assets for pennies on the dollar. I’m sure they are looking to do the same thing here.

Which is why Hillary already sold our uranium to Putin.

Most of us who read the news have figured out, that Wall Street had some big players who rigged the system long before the crash of 2008, by building a special internet system that got to certain servers owned by certain banks. While it cost them ‘millions’ to build, they knew that even getting information a few seconds before everyone else would give them the ‘edge.’ These ‘players’ received information faster than anybody else, thereby giving them first bids on trading. I read this in Vanity Fair, whose article I do not have in front of me but because this is a blog not a newspaper item, sorry.

Someday I’ll hire a researcher. (LOL!)

I mention it, because I was amazed when I read it. It fit in with our Presidents (George W., Bill Clinton and Obama) handing over the U.S. treasury to Goldman’s Sachs Presidents. Have you noticed that hardly ANYBODY anywhere has found this Executive closeness to Wall Street and the Feds a bit…suspicious?

Like I said, I only read about it in Vanity Fair.

Now, China is on the verge of their own 2008, where the little guy is going to lose a lot of money. The E.U. is in a panic…the Euro is in trouble, Greece is about to depart so…this will cause a panic, which they don’t want.

What would the big boys do who control the banks?

Would shutting it down the New York Stock Exchange stop the bleeding? Just tell the public it’s a minor thing, don’t worry, be happy.

And nobody knows what happened. (sure)

The Euro is an important part of the global government plans and so, NOBODY WONDERS…just WHO closed down the New York Stock Exchange to make sure that the right parties did NOT lose big money.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Did the elites PLAN to outlaw cash and therefore, invented the debit card so that cash could slowly be erased from the planet?

I can’t tell you how many young people I have talked to brag about how EASY it is to pay all their bills online. Having anybody reach into my stash of cash at the bank STILL gives me the willies…what you are basically doing is telling your uncle to go into your house, and take the cash he needs every month, and you will trust that he takes only what he needs, with you not there.

It’s clear, that the banks want to completely get rid of cash. There are too many people who can make ends met, or trade among themselves with cash transactions, and the bankers and politicians HATE it.

And here, David Knight gives proof of what the Banks want to do.

When all the cash is controlled by banks alone, it’s not going to be pretty. Nothing will be able to keep them out of your bank account if they so choose.

We ARE being forced into it…and they are trying to make everyone buy their necessities by offering you cash back incentives. They are paying you to not use cash.

When our ability to trade with currency is gone, so along goes our freedom to survive on our own.

Sadly– most everyone in the world thinks this is a natural evolution of our wonderful technology. (Idiots)

I was standing in line at my local cable company today, because they had just told me my “introductory” rates were over and I now had to pay another $100 for services, when I just couldn’t help myself—-

I started a conversation with the man in front of me.

It seems, he was an insurance broker and the first words out of his mouth were, “They really screwed everything up with Obamacare.” As I listened to the man, he was complaining that nobody knew what was going on, the doctors were refusing to “lower” their rates, and therefore, many people were going to hospitals and doctors, where they were NOT covered and didn’t even know it. He couldn’t get answers from anyone, and everybody was paying MORE money, and well…to be fair, I did start the conversation with, “What do you do?”

So, there I was…there to cancel my phone and Cable service, but I had to keep the internet, which of course also went up another $30 dollars, and I was realizing the vast network of money being sucked up by everyone that can.

When it was finally my turn, I asked the lady why my internet kept going up, and she shrugged.

“Well, how about I cancel it, and then go home, and join up again for the introductory price and save myself thirty dollars a month?” I said.

“That sounds like too much trouble.” she said.

So, because I truly do need the internet, I decided to go home and think about it.

This is such everyday stuff I know, and boring, but Americans are having to make these decisions every day, because everything is going up…and the salaries are not. It’s like we are all trapped in one of those movies where the people are at the bottom of a well, and the water is rising, and they keep trying to keep their heads above the water and then there’s screaming…AHAHHHHH!!!

That’s me.

Which is what I feel like doing today. Scream. My Santa Fee broke down last Saturday, in the middle of a very popular main drag, and luckily, my girlfriend had AAA or I would have had to pay a big tow fee. And I was feeling guilty about it…the dealer had told me that at 60,000 miles I needed to replace the timing belt…which of course was $600. But I thought…WHY? My old Pontiac Firebird went on for over 125,000 miles without me having to do anything to it but change the oil and tires.

So…I didn’t get it done.

I found out today, from the garage it was towed to, that it was going to cost over $800. Timing belt had to be replaced along with the OTHER thing that broke. (Some kind of drive shaft)

“So” I asked,” I should have had the timing belt replaced like everyone says and this wouldn’t have happened? ”

“Well, no.” he said. “We might have replaced the timing belt and not seen this and you would have had to bring it back and it would have cost you even more.”

So, here’s the deal.

They say, all the ‘sensors’ in all these new cars are the problem. They may all do great things, but the parts in them? They break.

Thomas Edison made a light bulb that shone for over 100 years, and they use to make cars that did not have to have major engine work every 60,000 miles. I know, I have owned a few.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent of their fathers”…Thomas Jefferson

By now, we all know how our many recent past Presidents worshiped the Federal Reserve Chairman’s, and how this private banking organization called the Federal Reserve controls our whole economy…at least some of us do.

The average man doesn’t think much about the Federal Reserve because, besides Ron Paul, you won’t catch ANYBODY anywhere saying anything against it. No politician dares speak of it.

So, I thought I’d take an excerpt out of Judge Napolitano’s book, It Is Dangerous to be Right when the Government is Wrong, to help us all remember, the true history of the Federal Reserve, and how it has been the cause of so much misery.

On November 22nd, 1010, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich (R-Rhode Island), with five companions, set forth under assumed names in a privately chartered railroad care from Hoboken, New Jersey, to Jekyll Island, Georgia, allegedly on a duck-hunting expedition. The need to maintain secrecy was extremely important to the men who were aboard the train traveling to J.P. Morgan’s private retreat at the Jekyll Island Club. The full guest list would be later revealed as including Senator Aldrich (Rockefeller kinsman,) Henry P. Davison ( a J.P. Morgan partner), Paul Warburg (a Kuhn Loeb & Co. partner), Frank A. Vanderlip (a vice president of Rockefeller’s National City Bank of New York), Charles D. Norton (the president of Morgan’s First National Bank of New York), and professor A. Piatt Andrew (Head of the National Monetary Commission research staff), who had recently been made an assistant secretary of the treasury under President Taft, and who was a technician with a foot in tin both the Rockefeller and the Morgan camps.

*************

These powerful banking elites would devise the new central banking system and draft what is now known as the Aldrich Plan. The Fed was given a monopoly of the issue of all bank notes: national banks as well as state banks. All nation banks were “forced” to become members of the Federal Reserve System.

***************

A lower interest rate means it is less painful to the government to borrow money. This system led to the national debt ballooning from $2.6 billion in 1910 to $25.9 billion in 1920, which also led to the sharp spike of inflation that followed.

****************

The great nations of the world would abandon the gold standard in order to print money to fund World War II. With the massive debt accrued by European nations to fight the war, as well as the need for the United States to pay its bills for the war, a new monetary sits had to be formed. Shortly after World War II, Lord Keynes and Harry Dexter White, a U.S. Treasury official, propared the plans for a new global financial system. Representatives of the financial rulers of the United Nations assembled in Breton Woods., New Hampshire, and they enacted the new global monetary system.

****************************

Massive increase in the money supply or inflation, by way of fractional reserve banking and a fiat based monetary system, causes prices to rise as well as the boom and bust cycle. The people who benefit from this inflationary system are the ones who get their hands on the money first, the banks.

And it’s funny….Every day we hear how the Feds will not raise interest rates, because then the government can continue to borrow at 0 percent. I have read way too many articles saying that it’s all going to collapse, and soon.

In the meantime, the rich are getting MUCH richer, as if they all know what’s coming and like squirrels they are gathering as many nuts as possibly to last out the winter ahead.

The crash of 2008, was basically a major theft of the American people. We really haven’t recovered and Obama’s policies, Like FDR’s has made the economy worse.

Still, thanks to the Fed Chairman’s, ..the stock market continues to soar. Good for people who own stock. Not so much, for the majority of the people.

And the dollar, is only worth about 30 cents.

Wouldn’t it be something to one day, go to the morning Drudge report, see the pictures of all the men who run and profit from the Federal Reserve, their names, and their incomes?

I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)

Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
